my eye was as red as a rabbit last night. and it was still slightly red this morning. my mum told me not to go for training and go back to bed. so i woke up at 8.15 this morning to brush my teeth and wash my face.
i didn't know that the class gathering was still on until my fan club president msged me. went back to sleep and she woke me up at noon to tell me that they are meeting at one. took a quick shower and rushed out of the house. there was only 3 pple coz i i thought the gathering wasn't confirmed and hence did not bother to update the rest. we wanted to watch mona lisa's smile. walked all the way to cine and realised that they are not screening it. walked to lido and they ain't showing it either. ended up watching the dumb scary movie 3. and in the middle of the movie.. my friends msged and asked if the gathering was still on.
oh i read about this cinema which charges students $5 during weekdays and $7 during weekends. but it is in bedok. sigh. if only westmall does the same.

ok.. i know slacking is bad for me. im getting more and more piggish. oh well.. what to do? isn't that the whole aim of holiday? to just slack at home and do nothing? afterall.. when sch starts.. how many times a week can we have the luxury of doing nothing?

i got this from a mail.. and i think it's very meaningful. do take some time to read and reflect upon it.
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.
Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve,and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets keepsakes, music, plants hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
If you don't send this to at least 8 people....
Who cares?

my friend told me that there's a shop near my house which plays heavy metal songs at 11.30pm. haha.. cool man. i call it the "bukit timah hard rock cafe".
crap.. official training is gonna start next week. sigh.. no more games. no more slack training. damn. it's gonna be conditioning, conditioning and conditioning. noooo!!!
oh... i got SAT tmr. but i don't care. im not gonna mug. im just gonna sleep well and go there and do it. it's an energy draining, mentally torturous and patience testing paper. it's aim is to drain all ya brain juices, irritate you and trick you into choosing the wrong answer. it is so cunning. so wicked. so pointless.
